About this map

The Salmon River carves a deep path through the southwestern portion of this quadrangle, defining a landscape of high ridges and isolated outposts in the early 2000s. Abbott Ranch and the locality known as The Cedars sit near the river's edge, while the high country above is marked by the remote Wilson Cabin and the open expanse of Shelly Meadows. This region is a sanctuary for recreation and conservation, encompassing a significant portion of the Marble Mountain Wilderness within the Klamath National Forest.

High-altitude water bodies such as Bug Lake, Shelly Lake, and Babs Lake are scattered across the drainage basins of the Shelly Fork and Babs Fork. The iconic Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail traverses the northern boundary, following the high divide near Timothy Gulch and Harry Hall Gulch. Notable summits like Yellow Dog Peak and Bear Wallow Peak anchor the complex topography of Razor Ridge and the Marble Mountains.
